REASONING
Seeking space to feel deeply...a resonance between the quiet, the rational and the unhinged.
Here, there is no singular interest or type. Obsessions surface unknowingly, yet this flow aims to arrange disparate parts that typically exist in tension - what we thought wouldn't fit, wasn't possible, wouldn't make sense, or what we weren't ready for.
To get there, we need the time and care the work deserves.

Jason Campbell, working under the diminutive...ell, is an American artist and spatial designer. He was born on Long Island, New York of Caribbean descent.
His work curates a thread between architecture, photography, performance, and sculpture. While the medium shifts as needed, the work is informed by the compelling yet challenging experiences that emerge from the dualities and incongruencies in our daily lives.
Jason has taught undergraduate and graduate advanced option studios at UC Berkeley College of Environmental Design where his studios prioritized the immaterial and narrative structure of decommissioned and derelict space, and the tension between seemingly incompatible uses.
